Thursday 11/3

Today you got smarter together by unpacking the text.
Tomorrow's test will look like this:
1. You will be given a question from your section (any one of them listed). You will need to answer that question carefully citing evidence from the text to make your answer clear and fully developed. This will require a lengthy paragraph.

2. You will be prompted to look back over your answers and relate them to the title of the excerpt and to the 14th amendment. It will look something like this:

Explain this section as it relates to the title of the article, The Ethics of Living Jim Crow, finish by telling specifically how this connects to the 14th amendment.


  • Begin your answer with your interpretation of the title 
  • then tell how the section illustrates this by using specific examples
  • restate what the 14th amendment means 
  • make connections between what you read and the 14th amendment.
